The year 2009 is a unique year of remembrance for Theology in Stellenbosch. Not only does this anniversary act as a reminder of 15 decades of theological training, spiritual formation and social involvement, but it also offers the opportunity for creatively questioning the challenges the future may hold. In the Christian tradition the art of remembering is related to the ability to retell various stories in such a manner that they become everyone’s story – tales of joy and pain, freedom and loss, courage and lament. For Theology (how we talk about God in today’s world) it means to interact with times, place and people via the healing lens of God’s love and mercy.
